Minor blizzard here in Rugby since 4:30- looks like it's starting to settle, should make for an interesting journey home.

here in daventry just south of Rugby sky went very dark, hail stones came down and winds picked up then turned to snow, covered car roofs then stopped.

Could be interesting driving to Banbury then to Bicester to restore a canal this weekend. Hmm :-k Could be nippy me thinks! :roll:

Picture of the blizzard cloud about 5 minutes before it hit. Dramatic looking because it arrived exactly at sunset.

After all that fuss, nothing here :grin: :grin:

You have to laugh about it, the met office goes into a panic and throws out weather warnings and then only a small % get a couple of inches.

A few years ago in Czech they has 5 foot... now thats snow!

It was indeed. A few cars stuck trying to drive up the hills in these parts getting stuck and sliding back down.

This was the scene first thing from the bedroom window.

All gone now though. Those venturing out into the Peak District will have had a good time first thing today.

It was belting it down from Thirlmere to Windermere at 6 this morning when I was driving back home. I had to be in my car and not the 4x4  :roll:

We had a reasonable flurry at about 07:15 - 07:30 this morning.
The amount descending (& size of the flakes) promised much, but failed to deliver :'(

In way, it was a good job, as I'd gone to work in SWMBO's 'works van'  :roll: (her Mondeo, the 110's been stood in the garage since Tuesday & won;t be coming out till Monday - unless the 'weather turns white')

By 08:30, this is all that was left. Sad isn't it?

Joanne's at least seeing real snow & lots of it!!!
She's over in Austria, near Soll, skiiing for the weekend. She went on Thursday & gets back into 'Gods Own County' (Yorkshire) at about 01:30 on Monday.
Guess who's doing an early shift in the morning (until 14:00), then has to go & collect her at that time!
Still, it means I can have a ride in the afternoon, & possibly a nap, before setting off to collect her

Flash makes it look darker than it was... but wanted to freeze the flakes to demonstrate how big they were.
